Let \(n\) be a positive integer and consider an \(n\times n\) square grid. For \(1\le k\le n\), a [i]python[/i] of length \(k\) is a snake that occupies \(k\) consecutive cells in a single row, and no other cells. Similarly, an [i]anaconda[/i] of length \(k\) is a snake that occupies \(k\) consecutive cells in a single column, and no other cells. The grid contains at least one python or anaconda, and it satisfies the following properties: [list] [*]No cell is occupied by multiple snakes. [*]If a cell in the grid is immediately to the left or immediately to the right of a python, then that cell must be occupied by an anaconda. [*]If a cell in the grid is immediately to above or immediately below an anaconda, then that cell must be occupied by a python. [/list] Prove that the sum of the squares of the lengths of the snakes is at least \(n^2\). [i]Proposed by Linus Tang[/i]

Renata the robot packs boxes in a warehouse. Each box is a cube of side length $1$ foot. The warehouse floor is a square, $12$ feet on each side, and is divided into a $12$-by-$12$ grid of square tiles $1$ foot on a side. Each tile can either support one box or be empty. The warehouse has exactly one door, which opens onto one of the corner tiles. Renata fits on a tile and can roll between tiles that share a side. To access a box, Renata must be able to roll along a path of empty tiles starting at the door and ending at a tile sharing a side with that box. [list=a] [*]Show how Renata can pack $91$ boxes into the warehouse and still be able to access any box. [*]Show that Renata [b]cannot[/b] pack $95$ boxes into the warehouse and still be able to access any box.[/list]
